"I probably discovered post-punk bands like Husker Du and later got around to listening to punk. But as Iggy Pop once said, it's all disco. It's all animal, all beating on drums, it's all getting up there and making a racket in front of a bunch of people. It's all beat." (Frank Black - The Washington Post.)

Below is the complete list of every podcast in season 1. In addition to a description and tracklist, it is also possible to download the podcasts directly (i.e. without a podcast client) but not recommended. Simply right-click and save the MP3 (please don't stream if possible- it eats our bandwidth).

Episode #19 - No Introduction NecessaryNov 15, 2006Our last interview for a long while, we have none other than Rich Gilbert aboard who was an absolute pleasure to chat with and just listen to. In addition, check out the Living On Soul demo, the very last Catholics song on record, and all the usual treats. So grab your historical moment pens and start writing.

Episode #18 - Dressing as Frank BlackOct 31, 2006At Halloween, it's customary to dress as someone else. Or something else. Cue the zombies. This podcast, we listen as others put on their Frank Black costumes and take a crack at their favourite Frank Black songs. The covers range from frighteningly true to dearly departed, so you will definitely want to sleep with one ear open tonight. Muahahahaha!

Episode #17 - Back to Black to BackOct 15, 2006You wanted it, you've got it - we've brought back some of the old features that we'd neglected for a while. Starting off right away with a special version of the Black to Back, where we trace the development of another Frank Black song: I Will Run After You, from an exclusive demo to the Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day version to the final Black Letter Days release. Plus, the second part of our Eric Drew Feldman interview, a song from Knife and Fork's Miserycord, and another FB.Net Salon Selection from The Hatchetmen.

Episode #16 - Short and Sweet SixteenOct 1, 2006The length of Frank Black songs varies as much as the style of the songs themselves. For our sixteenth podcast, we've gone through his catalogue and picked eight songs (from many) that are two minutes or less. Which, incidentally, gives us about sixteen minutes of music. Short. Add to that one of our favourite interview clips with Frank Black on lyrical games and anecdotes from Teenager of the Year, an exciting contest for a chance to meet Frank Black in Saskatoon this fall, and of course some great tunes. Sweet. But don't take our word for it, check it out!

Episode #15 - Finding FeldmanSep 15, 2006Brian Salvatore, Dean Katsiris, and (for some reason) Janeane Garofolo star in Podcast 15, Finding Feldman. Eric Drew Feldman chats with us about the new record, the upcoming tour, and the his early days with Frank Black. As well, we have an exclusive preview of a track - still in progress - slated for the next Knife and Fork record. Plus a whole bunch of other Frank Black tracks with emphasis on his collaboration with EDF.

Episode #14 - I Love FrankySep 1, 2006Rife with commercial innuendo and armed with a fake podcasting business, Dean and Brian nevertheless manage to compile some of our favourite tracks from the Summer of 2006 acoustic solo tour into one happy 45 mins. Featuring recordings from San Francisco, New York, and Philly, you get to hear tracks performed solo and while opening for the Foo Fighters. And if that's not enough, Frank Black makes another appearance to talk about podcasts, technology, and a radio show he'd like to have.

Episode #13 - BabyAug 15, 2006How much can we milk the fact that this is our thirteenth episode? A lot more than you feared. This week we have Ben Sisario, author of the 33 1/3 series book Doolittle, offering more insight in a ten minute interview than either Brian or Dean have in ten podcasts. As well, we have a cover of Debaser you're going to love, our choices for most Pixies-like Frank Black tracks, another selection from the FrankBlack.Net salon and more. So walk under a ladder, kick a black cat (not too hard), and grab episode 13. Baby.

Episode #12 - Live of BrianAug 1, 2006Brian returns from the dead and to celebrate, we play an entire live show for you. It all centers around a chat with Frank Black where he talks about what's to come in his upcoming tour starting this month opening for both Pearl Jam and Tom Petty as well as some solo shows. Also, we feature the long promised Nadine alternate version, reveal the contest winners and answers from Podcast 10, and of course some great music.

Episode #11 - Reid PaleyJul 15, 2006We're back to our regularly scheduled programming, which means no more sprawling hour-and-ten podcasts... for now. This week, we're joined by Reid Paley on the podcast as he talks about his involvement with Frank Black and his own music. We've given the bulk of this podcast a Reid Paley theme, choosing songs that have some connection to him, including Frank Black's cover of Take What You Want, the first track we've gotten the rights to play from recently released b-side disc Snake Oil. Plus, if you've never heard any of Reid's own music, this is your chance to check it out; we'll be playing the Anesthetist's Song from the Eric Drew Feldman produced Revival. So come on by, we'd love to have you.

Episode #10 - Podcast Penthouse PartyJul 1, 2006If Episode 9 was Frank Black's best-of, then our tenth episode is definitely ours. This podcast was recorded live at the Podcast 10 Party and is almost as much fun as being at the party yourself. Even the man, Frank Black himself, showed up for a chat! Trust us when we say that this is a podcast you won't want to miss and that we will not be duplicating any time soon - it took a week's worth of full-time work to bring this together. As always, some excellent tracks from an excellent artist, we play a few of your requests, announce our Oddballs winner, and offer up a brand new trivia contest. Just as a start.

Episode #9 - Best of the BestJun 15, 2006This week, the definitive Frank Black Best-Of, with thirteen songs chosen by you, the Frank Black fans, as the best music to introduce new listeners to Frank Black. This is also our longest podcast ever, just under the wire for burning onto a recordable CD to give to your friends. Finally, we have an exclusive commercial of Fastman Raiderman featuring many songs from there and a never-before-released demo of Coastline. So please, share with new people and enjoy.

Episode #8 - Evolution of a ClassicJun 1, 2006Nearing episode 10, we're stepping things up a bit starting with this episode. Arguably our most diverse podcast to date, with two exclusive tracks, a new feature (the evolution of Jane the Queen of Love from demo to album), two live tracks from some terrific live shows, three b-sides, a cover of Brackish Boy with the full band, and one of the best songs (Pixies or otherwise) every written. All packed into nine tracks and forty-seven minutes. Be sure to share podcast 9, coming soon, with your friends. It is sure to serve as a great primer to Frank Black.

Episode #7 - Listen Twice for Good LuckMay 15, 2006Lucky number seven, and hopefully you will feel that way when you've finished this podcast. Featuring another Salon selection from Doog, the more rare organ-filled His Kingly Cave, a little bit of Pixies, one of only two recordings of Tossed with vocals, and capping the podcast with what may well be the best closer ever written - Pie in the Sky.

Episode #6 - Quick and PainlessMay 1, 2006The FrankBlack.Net Survivor winner for Show Me Your Tears opens the podcast, two tracks from a rare acoustic Pixies set in Newport, a love song to the Ramones, the first ever alternate recording of St. Francis Dam Disaster (a demo for Dog in the Sand), and finally an underrated track from the already underrated Black Letter Days. A short and packed podcast for today's busy executive.

Episode #5 - Best EverApr 15, 2006As promised, two covers from Hey - A Pixies tribute grace this podcast. One, a straight up version of Blown Away; The other, a version of Mr. Grieves that may be circa 1920. On top of that, a rare acoustic version of Freedom Rock, two back-to-back versions of I'll Be Blue, some more album material including the famed Western Star, and kicking it all off with one of the best Frank Black and the Catholics recordings ever.

Episode #4 - April FoolsApr 1, 2006An April Fools prank gone awfully right, we promise a new Pixies track but fail to deliver, keeping in the promise breaking tradition. However, what we do have is what we believe to be the first Pixies radio show ever done, some excellent live tracks featuring Eric Drew Feldman and Frank Black solo in San Francisco, the unreleased version of Manitoba from the United States of Leland soundtrack, and so much other goodness you may have to do evil just to align your karma.

Episode #3 - Where the Man Is GoingMar 15, 2006Dean promises the best podcast ever, but will it turn out to be a broken promise? Yes. Still, this week we're giving away an Oddballs CD to one lucky listener (as well as playing a track from Oddballs), we have another exclusive preview from the second disc of the upcoming Fastman Raiderman, our first ever Frank Black-to-Back section comparing two versions of Humboldt County Massacre, tracks from the I Don't Want To Hurt You EP, a really rare acoustic version of Velouria, and a track from the FrankBlack.Net salon.

Episode #2 - Less Is MoreFeb 25, 2006Brian and Dean are back again with more Frank Black goodness. While it is a shorter episode than Episode 1 (40 minutes instead of 60) the plan is to bring you two podcasts a month. On tap this week, Dean mispronounces Le Cigare Volant repeatedly, Brian reveals his feelings for the Powerpuff Girls, and of course, Frank Black delivers with some more great tunes. Tracks from recently released b-side anthology One More Road for the Hit as well as the orange album and Pistolero, live cuts from Malmo, Sweden including Fiddle Riddle gone country(!), a rare track from the Jonathan Ross show courtesy of Ken Goes, and our first time presenting a song from the FB.Net Salon. This episode, a cover of Nadine from Octobre that we think you'll really like. The program:
